It's best to glue on one tab at a time, even if there are a few very near each other, to make sure they're all straight. Apply a light line along the tab you want to glue and hold it against the surface you're glueing it to for about a minute, until it sets. When gluing the parts together, Elmer's glue should work fine. This will allow you to make the folds without a straightedge, because the paper will naturally want to bend along the score, and it stops the paper from getting unsightly wrinkles around the fold area. When folding parts, first use the x-acto knife and the ruler to lightly "score" the surface of the paper along the fold, on the side facing AWAY from the direction of the fold. If you do any of this, you may want to look ahead to the "Details and Touch-Up" section before you finish putting the model together.

Because, for these models, we'll be looking to add as much detail later as we can, if you find any open windows printed on a part, or any other part that should be open, go ahead and cut it out with the x-acto knife. Be careful not to cut off the white tabs around the parts, these a VERY important when attaching parts together. Use an x-acto knife and a ruler to cut out each part as you need it. Now that you've got everything on paper, just start working through the instructions. Print the parts at the right scale, and the instructions. Double click on each, go to the Size tab, and change the Scale values to the ones you calculated. Open Microsoft Word, make the margins as small as your printer will allow (0.5 is a safe number) and insert the images. It's easier if the sheets are image files. If the parts are PDF, change the scale before printing by going to File>Print, clicking "Properties" next to the printer selection, clicking "Advanced", and typing the percent scale into the "Scaling" box. Once you have the size, open the parts sheets. Then you can determine the percentage size from what size that particular feature should be to be in-scale with 'Scape. Print that page on a plain sheet of paper, measure the feature you chose, and use that as the Actual Size value. If the site doesn't list a model size, or if the model is an irregular object such as a building and you are unsure what size you'll want it at, find a page that has some definite features on it such as a door or a window - something that you know what size you'll want it at. Just use your 'Scape to measure about what size you'll want the model (this will depend on what it is), and calculate the printing percentage by the formula: This is easy on sites that list the size of the model. BEFORE printing you want to make sure you're printing at a good size for 'Scape (don't want to waste your cardstock). Models from the internet will come in all sorts of different scales. The best paper to use is a thick cardstock, but with most models any paper can work.

In this post is a basic tutorial of how to print and assemble paper models, in the next is a list of sites I've found with good, free buildings and other objects to print.įirst, download all parts sheets and instructions available and save them to a folder on your Desktop (or anywhere else with easy access). It's cheap, easier than building the object from scratch, and easy to redistibute. An option for building custom terrain that is often overlooked is paper modelling.
